In today's episode our host Mon speaks with Jane Nixon about her experience into motherhood. After an intervention free labour that was progressing well Jane found herself in a cold operating theatre at fully dilated preparing for a trial of forceps.
After a successful forceps which avoided an emergency caesarean Jane was adjusting to the fourth trimester not really understanding what had just happened, but like many women she pushed her feelings aside & got on with newborn life.
Nearly two years later Jane found herself pregnant again and these feelings that she had once pushed aside surrounding her birthing experience had started to creep back into her mind.
Jane discusses how she identified & overcame her birth trauma in preparation to welcome her second baby and how she advocated for herself to have that empowering birth she had always dreamt of.
